  • Greg Devries about Bio Chopper

    "At Truly Green Farms, we work to maintain a very healthy environment for the plants. In the clean out period, it’s critical that we have machines that are reliable. Whether it is the BioChopper that helps remove all the plant material or the Aquajet for cleaning the greenhouse, it is very important that we can rely on the equipment.

  • Hank Neufeld about Valent Clips

    "In 2021, we were approached by Royal Brinkman to test their Valent Clips. We found that our clippers could go through the rows faster. Because of hygiene, our clippers must wear gloves. However, they often have to change gloves because a clip tears their glove open. The Valent Clips are smooth and have no sharp edges, thereby they do not tear the glove.

  • Tim Prins about the Easy Hook 26 cm

    "We were looking for a suitable hook for growing cucumbers. A cucumber plant grows on average 50 to 60 centimetres per week. This is almost twice as fast as a tomato plant that grows an average of 30 to 31 centimetres per week. We were therefore looking for a hook other than the 22 or 24 centimetre hooks we use in tomato cultivation''.

  • David van Tuijl about Orius

    Chrysanthemum cultivation is a very short crop. The trick is to have a biological army ready in time to combat thrips during those few weeks. With the addition of the Orius Plus predatory bait in combination with Power Food Plus, it is possible to keep thrips under control all year round. We speak to David van Tuijl of Linflowers.

  • Grower Moors about Valent Pepper Twine

    Pepper grower Rob Moors tested Royal Brinkman's new Valent Pepper twine in 2020 and now uses it on his entire 19 ha. "It is strong and does not stretch, so the rows are tight from start to finish. That works well and prevents damage and loss of quality."

  • Nursery Reijm about Menno Florades

    Gerbera is a vulnerable crop and fungi such as Verticillium and Fusarium are to be avoided at all costs. Good hygiene helps growers to keep these fungi at bay. The crop rotation is the perfect moment to kill fungal spores. Quite a challenge, since there is often still crop in the greenhouse and the pipes are still being used. Gerbera grower Johan Reijm shares his experience.

    We visit Lugt Lisianthus in Monster and speak to Wesley van der Lugt. "We were looking for a solution to keep the pipes clean in the long term. We found it in the co-dosage of the disinfectant Huwa-San TR-50 during the cultivation."

    The DryGair units treat the greenhouse air during cultivation, without the need for outside air. All the energy stays in the greenhouse; we don't lose any heat. This efficient way of dehumidifying the air provides energy savings of 40% on our gas consumption.

  • Madiba grower Kees de Jongh about the Alumaster 2.0

    Our spraying robot needed replacing after 18 years. There were two words on our wish list for a new spraying robot: fully automatic and sustainable. The spraying robot is used in our cultivation for braking, spraying and biology dispersal. The Alumaster 2.0 by Royal Brinkman is a fantastic machine that is already used for more than 50% for biology spraying at our nursery.

  • Sweet pepper growers Bestpeppers and Kees van Tuyl about Orius predatory bugs

    Orius predatory bugs are excellent thrips fighters. They are therefore widely used in sweet pepper cultivation. One point of improvement is the population build-up in early spring. We discuss the experiences with Bertus van Dijk of Bestpeppers and Jan Bel of Kees van Tuyl.

  • Schenkeveld about Service Engine

    "Our previous system for service and maintenance tasks was no longer adequate. We could only create tasks and check them off," says Richard Schenkeveld, tomato grower from Schipluiden. "But with the increase in the number of machines and an increase in personnel, we were yearning for more insight and overview. We were tipped off about the Service Engine and that's where the ball started rolling".
